Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.

The closure property for rational numbers states that when two rational numbers are combined using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division (provided the denominator is not zero), the result is also a rational number.

Given, 1-9--47

LCM of 9 and 7 is 63.

-19--47=-7+4×963=-7+3663=-2963

In the expression1-9--47, both -19 and 47 are rational numbers, and the result of their addition, -2963 is also a rational number. 

So, the given expression exhibits the closure property.
